Multibagger Stock: De Nora Ltd - ROI @ 190% in 24 Months

Dear Reader,

Our equity analysts published Hidden Gem - Nov 2010 research report and shared it with all Hidden Gems members.  Research report was published exactly 2 years back on 7th Nov 2010. Hidden Gem stock of Nov'10 was De Nora Ltd. 

When research report was shared with all our Hidden Gems members, we received few queries on recommendation of this little known company. In fact, many of our members have never heard of this company earlier but they invested in this micro cap company with lot of trust and faith on us and our research work.

Today, our members are holding it for free as we suggested partial profit booking by selling 50% of their stock holding in De Nora Ltd in the range of Rs. 160-165 and holding remaining quantity for long term. Today, De Nora Ltd is closed at Rs. 219 giving absolute returns of whopping 190% to our members in 24 months. 

There are 8 more Hidden Gems out of 21 published by our equity analysts in last 2 years which gave more than than 100% returns to our members. We suggested partial profit booking in many of these stocks and our members registered more than 100% returns and now hold remaining quantity for free in their portfolio.

We also like to share that there are Hidden Gems which gave negative returns to our members but downside was limited. We suggested our members to exit some of these non performing companies to ensure that they utilize their capital in the most optimum way. We strongly believe that as an smart investor, we should keep on nurturing the best seeds (companies generating free cash flows and utilizing it effectively) and erode off the weeds (non performing companies) from our equity portfolio.  

Below is the summary of De Nora Ltd published in our Hidden Gem research report - Nov'10.

Company exhibition was successful at the KPCA 2010 show in Korea

ii) Acquisition of full control of Permelec Electrode Ltd. and majority of Chlorine Engineers Corp. Ltd. (Sep 2010)

Industrie De Nora S.p.A. (De Nora) has reached an agreement with Mitsui and Co., Ltd. (Mitsui), for the purchase of all the shares held by Mitsui in order to reach 100% ownership of PERMELEC ELECTRODE Ltd. (PEL), in Fujisawa-shi, Japan. PEL was founded by Mitsui and De Nora as a 50-50% Joint Venture in 1969 to serve the Japanese Chlor Alkali market.

This acquisition is an important step for De Nora to improve its global manufacturing capacity and will further strengthen the ongoing technical exchange between De Nora and PEL for the continuing development of high performing electrodes.

The move shall ensure that the world Chlor Alkali Industry will benefit even more from De Nora’s well proven experience in cutting edge coating manufacturing facilities and electrochemical technologies.

In the framework of the final agreement reached with Mitsui in this transaction, De Nora has also secured the control of CHLORINE ENGINEERS Corp. Ltd.

Saral Gyan Recommendation (6th Nov 2010)

1. De Nora India is into a niche segment and commands market share of 75%. Company uses advance technologies for coating of anode and cathode using in Chlor Alkali plants and corrosion systems used for preventing corrosion in saw pipes. De Nora products offering with latest membrane cell technology is opening new growth opportunities in the country. Further, company also supplies electro chlorination equipments for water purification.

2. De Nora India Ltd is an MNC which is expected to trade at premium when compared to local players, but company is available at decent valuations with current P/E ratio of 14, giving an opportunity to investors to buy the stock at current market price. Company business seems to be complex which could be one of the reasons that stock has overlooked by Investors.

3. As per our estimates, De Nora can deliver bottom line of 47.5 million for full financial year 2010 – 11, annualized EPS of Rs 8.55 with forward P/E ratio of 8.83 X for FY 2010-11, which makes stock of the company an attractive bet at current market price.

4. Company has paid consistent dividend in past except the last financial year when company performance was poor due to slowdown in chlor alkali industry. Dividend of 70% was paid in 2006, 69% in 2007, 58% in 2008, 25% in 2009. De Nora India Ltd is expected to do well with revival in chlor alkali industry.

5. On equity of Rs. 55.55 million the estimated annualized EPS works out to Rs. 8.55 and the Book Value per share is Rs. 47.14. At a CMP of Rs. 75.50, stock price to book value is 1.6. The scrip is trading at 8.83 X FY 2010-11 estimated earnings which make it an attractive considering the past track record and strong global presence of De Nora Group.

Saral Gyan Team recommends “BUY” for De Nora India Ltd. at current market price of 75.50 for a target of Rs. 155 over a period of 18-24 months.
